I just learned about the War of the Oaken Bucket and honestly it might be the most ridiculous conflict in history. It started with a pickled ear. Yes, you read that right, a pickled ear. Apparently, some Italian city-states got into a fight over a bucket thats contents included a pickled ear. I mean, who gets that upset over a snack, but I guess it was a big deal back then. The war was fought between Bologna and Modena in 1325, and it lasted for a bit, causing some real damage, all because some dudes got into a fight over a stupid bucket and its weird contents. The dumbest part is that the bucket was actually a symbol of the cities rivalry, but come on, a pickled ear shouldnt be the reason for a war. Anyway, now I know that even the dumbest reasons can start a big conflict, and that a pickled ear can be the catalyst for warwatch full video: https://youtu.be/dUYsEdwN1Hk?list=PLjBgcvtYPpOTA2xfMbOFC0dVi1EwYIYvT
